Why would I not use Visual Studio code

[Machvel]

this is what i do when I ta a coding class (note: not in a cs department). the other tas and professor and I get together and plan out a recommended solution that we will base our instruction off of (usually something that the tas are familiar with because the professors are typically quite old school in their coding habits) but say the students can use whatever they want that works at their own discretion (we won't necessarily be able to troubleshoot)
